<p>“Harvard, Yale ,Stanford freshmen size is 500 bigger than Princeton, but still maintains ~7% admit rate. The effective admit rate of Princeton would be 30%”</p>
<p>Not sure how that adds up to 30% (if we accepted 850 more (59% yield), it’d be around ~3000/22000 = ~13%).</p>
<p>I guess with that logic, you could say the “effective” admit rate at Pomona College (one of the best colleges in the country) is around 200%. Dang, 200% admit rate - Pomona must suuuck. </p>
<p>Riiiight, don’t forget to take into account any other factors (like how Princeton requires 3 SAT Subject tests, which eliminates 90% of high school students from applying).</p>
